** ALASKA. 7395, May 1 at 1301, KNLS IS and Chinese IDs, S3-S5 from
100 kW at 300 degrees oppositeward (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA. 6000, May 1 at 0505, RHC English is suptorted; 6060 is good
S9+20; 6100 OC/DA at S9+30; 6165 JBM at S9. Recheck at 0608: 5040 &
6000 off, 6060 good, 6100 & 6165 undermodulated. Something`s always
wrong at RHC.

Also strangely enough, no jamming audible at 0608 on 5980, but surely
will be back before 0700 RM (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 13739.240, May 1 at 1352, RHC auto-knocked way off-frequency
again today at S9+30. Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEW ZEALAND. 9700, May 1 at 0500, RNZI timesignal just after
opening this frequency is JBA! Instead of usual SSOB. Yet K-index at
06 is only 2, no storms (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15205+ and 15435, April 30 at 1738, both SRI
transmitters detectable, and both go off at 1757*. So my report
yesterday must have had wrong times an hour plus making me think they
were running later! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 6115, April 30 at 2208, WWCR is S9 but JBM,
presumably TOMBS during this hour M-F, too weak to make a match to
9330+ WBCQ. MORE: See USA WWCR, WBCQ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 30 at 2206, NO signal from VOT English to North
America yet again. Wake up, sloppyrators at Emirler! (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. 9470, April 30 at 1944, NO signal from WEWN
English unlike yesterday, when 9470 was running 19-24 UT instead of
correct 15610 which is indeed back on today altho JBA, and still at
2212 check.

So 9470 on April 29 must have been a mistake, or possibly a test.
Ironically, today there would have been no ACI from 9475 WTWW since
it`s again stuck on night frequency 5830 in daytime.

12050, what about the other transmitter for Radio CatÃlica Mundial =
WEWN Spanish? April 30 at 1945, an S3-S5 signal with call-in YL host,
but *not* in Spanish, must be Kanuri from Radio Ndarason
International, which thinx it`s a good idea to share any frequency
with a 250/500 kW transmitter anywhere else, but lux out today with
WEWN evidently off.

Originally, RNI was all via Ascension but now HFCC A-19 shows 19-21 is
via Woofferton UK, while 18-19 (if really active? not in Aoki/NDXC)
remains Ascension. Furthermore it shows WEWN 12050 as only 100 kW,
which I could certainly believe from its underpowering signal when
audible. By 2212 a JBA carrier on 12050 presumably now RCM. 500 kW
transmitters downgraded to 100 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9475, April 30 at 1738, NO signal from WTWW-1 day frequency,
and yes, once again, Ted has failed to QSY from night frequency 5830
where it`s managing S6-S8 over a fully insolated one-megameter path.
And 9475 still off at 1944: See also 9470 WEWN report (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, it`s Wednesday May 1 but WWCR is still out of order
like Tuesday: at 0503, open carrier/dead air at S5-S8 about equal
level to modulated 5935. 3215 is S9+20 with TOMBS at 0504, despite
WWCR`s own pdf program schedule still dated April 1 showing this at
0300-0500 only Tue-Sat, then off the rest of the night. TOMBS is still
running on 3215 at 0610 check, when 5890 is still OC/DA. 4840 which
was modulating earlier, is now S9+10 of OC/DA despite scheduling as
TOMBS all-night 0600-1200 weekdays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.17 approx., May 1 at 1552, WBCQ is JBA, sounds like
Brother Scare same as on 9395 WRMI, but never synchronized. Allan
Weiner twitted circa 12 UT May 1:

``@AllanWBCQ 4h4 hours ago --- Testing the 500KW free speech
flamethrower this week. RF being made today. Check 9330khz. All
systems go. Exciting stuff this real radio stuff. One transmitter to
billions of receivers. In real time. By real people. Direct to you
from WBCQ.``

But obviously not yet. When on, it should be better than JBA and
closer to 9330.000 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

This report dispatched at 1615 UT May 1

** CUBA. 15230, April 30 at 1415, RHC is just barely modulated here at
S9 during `Sonido Cubano`, while 15140 is sufficient at S9+10.
Something`s always wrong at RHC (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** CUBA [and non]. 5980, checked at 0053 UT April 30: this is not VOA
in Spanish [as Wolfgang Bueschel assumed?], but TV Marti, per numerous
IDs after an interview about the elexions in Spain. Possibly they
mentioned Voz de America at some point. Heavy jamming, but TVM on top.
Not hearing any RRI in the mix at first, but detectable at 0111,
Romanian // 7420 in the clear, both scheduled 0000-0200. RRI QSY to
5980 was blindsided by OCB`s abrupt decision to put TVM audio on SW.

TVM also plugged again the secure website to access it; could not copy
but seems to end in .info. So far I have not found a reference to that
on the insecure site martinoticias.com or
http://www.radiotelevisionmarti.com
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. DTV RF 13, April 30 at 1424 UT, all four OETA channels
are displaying the neat `Technical Difficulties` TP illustrating a
wrench, screwdriver and hammer amid the old-style circles, and tiny ID
lettering at the bottom --- both OTA and the two available via cable.

Here is a shot of it made last year:
http://www.w4uvh.net/OETAtechpat2018.jpg

Erratically audio-only comes on and sometimes video, before back to
TP, ruining reception of programming until 1500 UT, then apparently
back in business. A small but perhaps severe storm was moving thru
OKC, maybe turning OETA`s satellite dish for PBS into a rain gauge!

(In Enid circa 0900 UT we had the same severe storm dumping two inches
of rain into ours; and flood watches continue. And a tornado warning
issued at 1616 UT for the Carney-Cushing OK area, just NE of OKC. At
1636 another warning for Osage County; fortunately away from Enid and
not moving thisaway. But NWS interrupting OETA programming.)

The other OKC stations remained OK, except RF 16, KOCM ``46`` Norman,
black screen and silence until recovery of Daystar gospel-huxtering at
1437 UT (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SAUDI ARABIA. 15435, April 29 at 1822, weak Arabic talk and pop
music. Presumably SBA program 1 extended, as all references show its
span is only 1500-1800, General program (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

15205.057, April 29 at 1823, VP talk, ME song, also presumed SBA
always off-frequency here, and also on past nominal 1545-1757 span per
Aoki/NDXC, 1600-1800 per EiBi and HFCC; 500 kW, 320 degrees USward
beyond Eurotarget; WRTH lists as Qur`an program.

The next day, I am having second thots --- were these really heard at
1722 and 1723 UT, wrong times entered due to DST confusion? Must
recheck today (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

17615.067, April 30 at 1416, JBA carrier from always off-frequency SBA
is nevertheless the SSOB, nothing else audible but an ever weaker one
on 17780 from BBC Ascension. Nothing audible from the other Riyadhs on
17705 & 17895 which supposedly run until 1500 and are aimed USward
unlike 17615 at 190 degrees! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** TURKEY. 9830, April 29 at 2247, VOT English to North America has
been on, but successfully all the way from *2200? Now it`s sign-off
time with ``news pre-recorded`` disclaimer; S8/S9+10, and right into
IS loop. And no German extra after 2300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A [and non]. WORLD OF RADIO 1979 monitoring: confirmed UT Tue
Apr 30 at 0114 the 0100 on WRMI 7780, fair. Next:
2100 UT Wednesday WRMI 9955
2100 UT Wednesday WBCQ 7490v
0100 UT Thursday WRMI 7780

[it appears we will now be running on a Friday-to-Thursday cycle, so
freshest new airings are on weekends]

Full schedule including AM, FM, webcasts, satellite, podcasts:
http://www.worldofradio.com/radioskd.html
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9470, April 29 at 1941, surprised to find something here,
Christian call-in in English, S8-S9, but tuning LSB totally separable
from much stronger 9475 WTWW-1 at S9+20. 1947 EWTN ID in passing,
guest a know-it-all about Catholic theology. 9470 is of course WEWN
English frequency registered for 09-13 UT only, 335 degrees toward ``Bejing``.

After a 6-hour break, English supposed to resume at 1900, 85 degrees
for Africa on 15610 --- but nothing on 15610 now. Recheck 2251, 9470
is still on with call-in past 2300. So is this nevertheless
deliberate, 9470 propagating much better around here anyway than
15610? Or a mistake, failure to retune transmitter after previous
emission? Normally, two US SW stations would never be authorized
simultaneously only 5 kHz apart! We shall soon find out if this recur
from 1900 UT April 30 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 5890, April 30 at 0604, WWCR open carrier at S9+10/20, and
also 3215 at S9+20/30 with some hum; while the other two are
modulating on 4840 and 5935. Another Tuesday when this happens
reliably, altho I can`t be sure it does not also happen certain other
days of week. WHY? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

DTV PIXILLATED ART FROM THE HAUSER COLLEXION

I am amassing a growing collexion of DTV breakup images from my Sanyo
screen, often producing startling/beautiful art. Each one is unique
and can never be replicated. This happens when stations are on the
verge, only partially decoding and/or when the frame freezes during a
channel change, capturing parts of two different stations. I have not
kept track of the stations, times or circumstances involved, altho
IIRC this latest one involved KDCD 31 Derby KS, which fortunately froze
long enough for grabbing a camera:
http://www.w4uvh.net/HauserDTVPixArt1.jpg
Eventually I plan to organize a gallery of these ARTifacts

http://www.hard-core-dx.com/index.php?topic=Hauser

Best DX wishes, Glenn Hauser

** CUBA. 5980, UT Mon Apr 29 at 0245 check, nothing but Cuban jamming
noise on the new frequency for TV Martà soundtrack, at 22-03 UT but
not scheduled on weekends. However, during the previous hour at 0135,
via remotes in NY & FL, Wolfgang Bueschel was getting a ``terrible
mixture`` of VOA news in Spanish vs RRI in Romanian, which had
inadvisably shifted from 9790 to 5980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** KOREA NORTH [and non]. 6045, April 29 at 1203, good signal in
Korean S9/+10, with lite beep jamming underaudible. I can`t believe
this be from TAJIKISTAN site as in Aoki/NDXC for National Unity Radio
clandestine at 1200-1458. EiBi also claims TJK but at 1100-1300. Not
in HFCC at all. Rather something from E Asia/W Pacific. Steve McGreevy
suggests Taiwan. Dan Sheedy, Moonlight Beach CA logged it several
times in April with same too-good-for-Tajikistan observation. Ivo
Ivanov assumes TJK, having replaced 7235 in mid-April.

Also relevant, this from Ron Howard earlier: ``BHUTAN. 6035, BBS,
1114-1120*, on April 5. Pop songs till transmitter off. The good news
is that the recent jamming spur heard here from 6045, has ended, as
National Unity Radio has moved away from 6045, taking the N. Korea
jamming with them`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 540, April 29 at 1129 UT, Mexican NA from WSW, different
version choral with band and heavy drumming, and an odd time for it
too, perhaps its sign-on. 1130 no ID but immediate prayer to JehovÃ,
YL solo hymn? to mi ciudad, finally 1135 full ID for XETX, La Ranchera
de PaquimÃ, street address in Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, also FM
90.5, Grupo BM Radio, another informal slogan preceded by ``La Mera
Mera ---`` (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 570, April 29 at 1102 UT, choral multiverse NA from SSW,
until 1105 fades for ID but Monterrey mentioned, i.e. XEBJB (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 580, April 29 at 1100 UT, M&W newscast including F and C
weather for the frontera, Piedras Negras; holding its own against
opposite WIBW Topeka, making 63/minute SAH = 1.05 Hz. Obviously
``XEMU``, new legal call of which is XELRDA standing for La Ranchera
Del Aire (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 610, April 29 at 1104 UT, Coahuila mentioned, Grupo M(?)
Radio. I would assume XEBX Sabinas, but it`s thought to have moved to
FM 105.9 with 610 deleted from WRTH 2019. http://www.radioxebx.com/ is
merely under construxion as ``La Primera`` on 105.9 AND 610. There has
been a CP for another Coahuilan on 610, XESORN in Saltillo to replace
XESAC which is definitely gone. Must monitor 610 again closely (Glenn

** MEXICO. 650, April 29 at 1100 UT, no signal yet, but recheck 1108,
now Mexican music from southwest and 1111 `Buenos DÃas, Yarderos`,
well-known wakeup show from XETNT, Radio 65 altho neither call nor
slogan heard today. DJ mixes in plugs for local mercados in Los
Mochis, Sinaloa; 1137 greeting listeners by name still in BDY show.
Still no sign of sibling station XEGS Guasave, altho more QRM on 610
from KCSP, and Coahuila earlier. At ToH 1200 the two used to join for
newscast, too late now.

So XETNT is definitely still on AM. Replying April 26 to my previous
non-log, Raymie Humbert in AZ on the WTFDA Forum:

``XETNT should never have stayed on past a year; it was not the Mochis
station with a continuity obligation. (That would be 540 XEHS-AM, on
the air for the benefit of 27,552 people.) On the other hand, XEGS is
continuity obligated. More than 21,000 people depend on it for their
only radio service. Most continuity obligation stations are on low
frequencies. There's still the chance, of course, someone wants to run
a social AM radio station and assumes the continuity obligation.
That's happening with XEEJ Puerto Vallarta, which will soon yield to a
new station XECSBK on 650. Other frequencies that are part of
continuity obligations are being advertised the same way.`` (Glenn

** MEXICO. 710, April 29 at 1113 UT, gravelly Low-German preacher, his
home on XEDP Ciudad CuauhtÃmoc, Chihuahua, not off-frequency today; by
1138 back to Spanish with regional weather, 5:39 TC, plugs its
whatsapp link, details of a fatal DUI --- conduciendo borracho?
traffic accident (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 780v, April 29 at 1116 UT, semi-local KSPI Stillwater music
carefully nulled, for Spanish producing low audible heterodyne (but
not as bad as 740 KRMG torn up by XEQN TorreÃn), mentions Monclova,
ads, something on carretera 30 which runs roughly between Monclova and
TorreÃn, and CCI from another XE, 1118 fade-out. So it`s XEWGR in
Monclova (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 820, April 29 at 1141 UT, slow SAH against WBAP nulled for
``Canal 800-20, ABC Radio`` IDs between guitar songs, again at 1143 by
when it`s dominating WBAP, i.e. XEABCA, Mexicali BCN. No storm noise
on band this morning, the lightning having migrated from KS last night
to the dayside in MO; also a storm around Yuma, but not bothering this
station (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 930, April 29 at 1145-1148 UT, WKY in a promotional loop
with slight variations, slogans by YL such as ``La casa de deportes en
Oklahoma City`` (or would that be ``caza``?) also plugging ESPN,
Oklahoma City Thunder, call letters always in English, mixed with SFX,
yelling (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 7505v, April 29 at 1256, WRNO VG S9+20 in Christian Chinese,
presumably about to close at 1300 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)

** U S A. 15825 & 13845, April 29 around 1320, both these WWCRs are
getting a sporadic-E boost altho not imbooming yet, rather than JBA
over too-close 1-megameter path. Correlates nicely with an OK/TN
contact on 10m shown by DX Maps - but not into VHF yet (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
